Other Checking Account Holder Benefits:

1st Gateway Debit Card
Our 1st Gateway Debit Card works like a credit card, but all transactions come from your checking account and are on your monthly statement. Your card will allow you to get cash back at the point-of-sale where allowed when you
are making purchases, as well as ATMs everywhere. You have access to your funds immediately once it’s deposited. Checkout lines will go much faster as the 1st Gateway Debit Card eliminates the need to write a check or hassle with identification. And since the money comes directly from your checking account, there are no interest charges or transaction fees. Using your new card is safer than carrying cash, plus you’ll have $0 liability for any unauthorized purchases, which means greater piece of mind.

Early Pay Checking
Have your payroll or government agency payment directly deposited into your checking account and you may receive your payment up to two days early.* Many companies and government agencies send funds using direct deposit before the “official” payday. With Early Pay Checking you will get the funds when we receive them.

*Must have direct deposit of payroll into a 1ST Gateway checking account to qualify. Early Pay Checking offers immediate credit of your direct deposit of net pay to your 1ST Gateway Checking account up to two (2) days early based upon when we receive your payroll from your employer or government agency. 1ST Gateway cannot assume any liability for not depositing these funds to your account early.

**APY is Annual Percentage Yield. $500 minimum balance, 12 debit card transactions, eStatements, and Direct Deposit required for 1st Rate Checking Account. If all of the qualifications are not met the rate will be 0.05%. Rate subject to change.
